Hello, this is Seoulian. I often introduce Windows mini PC products. Typically, mini PCs have the advantage

of simplified setup due to their small size. However, due to their limited performance, they often face restrictions when it comes to versatility.

But this rule doesn’t apply to Apple. The Mac mini, which is even smaller than most of the mini PCs I’ve introduced

doesn’t leave me wanting in terms of performance. In fact, its specs are so high that I almost want to say, "Don't be too greedy."

The Mac mini has been completely renewed. Originally, I was planning to upload a performance test and an option selection guide video based on usage

but it took a bit of time to gather products with different specs. So in today’s video, I’ll show you whether it’s portable enough

to carry around, as Apple made it so compact, how to set up a portable workspace, and what the actual experience is like.

In the next video, I’ll focus on testing the Mac mini's performance by specs and provide a guide on how to choose the best option

for tasks like photo and video editing, gaming, and office work. If you subscribe and set the notification bell, I’ll be back with the video soon.

And you’ve hit the like button, right? So, why would I want to use the Mac mini as a portable device?

First, it’s because the Mac mini has become so small that it looks perfect for carrying around.

I don’t think this can be ignored. And secondly, from a consumer's perspective, when building the core trio of Apple’s ecosystem with macOS, iPadOS, and iOS,

you can now consider skipping the MacBook Pro. What this means is that until now, the uncertainty of needing a Mac on the go

made people choose the MacBook Pro from macOS products. But after using it, I found that the iPad often overlaps in functionality, making it somewhat redundant.

So, if the Mac mini can be carried around without fuss, it creates a new combination that meets both budget

and portability needs for macOS users. Now, let's see if it's worth trying, shall we?

Obviously, the Mac mini is a must. It's so small now that both the body and the power cable

can fit in the front pocket of a pouch. To get a sense of how small the Mac mini is

when compared to the adapter of my Windows gaming laptop, the Mac mini is actually much smaller. It's an absurdly small size.

I'm using the M1 Pro with a 14-core CPU, 20-core GPU, 48GB of unified memory, 1TB SSD, and 10Gbe.

I've packed it with specs, but in the next video, I'll share a reasonable option selection guide

where you might not even need to buy a Mac mini at all. For the keyboard and mouse, I'm using the Apple Magic Keyboard and Magic Mouse.

Apple's official accessories have some advantages like Touch ID and the Magic Keyboard gestures. But honestly, I didn't choose them because they're more convenient

but because of portability. Both the keyboard and mouse are extremely thin. Whether it was intentional by Apple or not, both the keyboard and mouse

are the lowest in height compared to anything else I own, making them perfect for portability.

The portable monitor is... I'm not sure if the name is correct, but it's called "EHOMEWEI"

with an 18-inch 16:10 QHD display. There are many portable monitors, but this one's body and stand are fully finished with aluminum

and you can connect the cables neatly to the stand. It makes setting up really clean. With just one USB-C data cable,

both power and video signals are delivered. Also, it's surprisingly useful for just watching videos without a keyboard or mouse.

The touch functionality is a big help in that case. For audio, I use AirPods Pro or AirPods Max.

Looking at the setup, it doesn't look over-the-top at all. Everything fits in the portable monitor's pouch.

And when in use, seeing macOS running is kind of amazing, but if you didn't know, it could just look like a Surface Go.

I'm often carrying around the iPad Pro and DaVinci Resolve micro color panel these days. Since I'm already bringing these along,

I've been doing color grading with DaVinci Resolve, and seriously, it's really usable. Even when carrying a micro panel with the MacBook Pro,

the distance between the panel and display was too far because of the keyboard. And when I used the keyboard and mouse in between,

I had to awkwardly type over the panel. But now, I just place the color panel right in front of the monitor

with the keyboard on the left and the mouse on the right, and it's super comfortable to use.

If I bring the iPad Pro along, I can use it as a reference monitor next to me. With this setup, I've definitely confirmed the possibility of the Mac mini

being used as a portable device. In fact, in some scenarios, it can be applied more flexibly than the MacBook Pro.

However, since it must be plugged into a power outlet, it can't be considered fully portable. So, just keep that in mind

and weigh the options for which product is best suited for your macOS needs. As I mentioned earlier,

I'll return with the Mac mini option selection guide next time. Please look forward to it! I'll see you in the next video.

Goodbye! The end. Of course, you can set it up to be fully portable. If you carry a power bank, it's definitely possible.

With this setup, you could easily use it when you go camping. I should try using it while camping.
